My SO’s bday is at the end of July and they’ve asked me to build them a deck. Most of their deck’s are pretty high power so they requested something silly and different. I’ve gone over the commander/idea of the deck with them and they love it so now I’m just trying to touch it up before I order cards. With all of that out of the way here is the basic idea of the deck.
The deck is looking to give its opponents as many creatures as it possibly can. To this end it runs many creatures that give opponents tokens like [[Varchild’s War-riders]] , [[Hunted Phantasm]] , and [[Ox Drover]] as well as ways to flicker them to recur those effects. It also runs cards like [[Alliance of Arms]] that can produce a ton of tokens quickly.
The next thing that the deck wants to do is pillow fort to not die at the hands of what it created. [[Pramikon, Sky Rampart]] is here to help with this, and the decks flickers make sure the direction can be switched to not ruin the game for one player. The deck also runs [[Propoganda]] , [[Windborn Muse]] , [[Ghostly Prison]] and similar cards to protect itself.
The deck makes tokens itself and can win with [[dragonshift]] when the opponents are beaten down enough. [[Storm Herd]] is in as another late game finisher. It can also win pillow-fort stlye with [[Azor’s Elocutors]].
I’m trying hard to make sure the deck stays fun to play against. We play with the same pod every week and I don’t want to give my SO a deck everyone hates. As long as the deck doesn’t shut down the game completely I know it will be popular, the guys are very into goofy/unique ideas.
I’m not the greatest deck builder so I’m looking for feedback on the balance of different cards ie lands/creatures/draw/pillow-fort. I’m also looking for any cards that would be fun and fit the deck that I’ve missed. I’m trying to keep the budget around $100.
Thanks for reading!!
I feel like [[Zedruu the Greathearted]] is a must for any Jeskai give stuff away deck.
